Our partners at Gabb Wireless tell us that in the last several years, there has been a significant decline in youth mental health and troubling incidences of youth violence.

So how do emojis have anything to do with self-harm and violence? The Crisis Text Line analyzed over 129 million messages and discovered that those who use the pill emoji (💊) in texts with the hotline were 4.4 times more likely to die by suicide than others. (Crisis Text Line, 2020)
Most cell phones (even Gabb Phones) have emojis. Usually, emojis are a fun way to communicate with others and express yourself. In most cases, emojis are harmless, but parents need to understand how emojis can be used to indicate self-harm and violence.

This information is meant to empower parents to take a second look if their kid is using any of these emojis in a negative way. Also, use Promo Code LYNNSWARRIORS for a discount to devices to keep your kids safe.
